New addition to the awesome sightseeing complex that's comprised of Biodome, Insectarium, Botanical Gardens and the Olympic Tower - the super high-tech planetarium.
The interior decor is beautiful, walking into the planetarium is like walking into outer space with stars. A visit to the planetarium is mainly comprised of two shows - the "Continuum" and "From Earth to the Stars". During the waits between the showings - there is an area with a lot of interactive technologies with touch screens that teach basic knowledge about the universe. The "Continuum" is an immersion show where everyone gets to cuddle up to their own bean chair and spend 23 minutes traveling through the universe, from planets to stars to galaxies. There is absolutely no disturbance, just an complete display of elegance of the universe. "From Earth to the Stars" is an informative and educational show where the interpreter teaches practical knowledge of how to identify constellations in the night sky and explains certain scientific facts about objects of the universe. They are two complementary and completely different experiences. Loved both shows! Both are fun, interesting and educational.
Both shows are included with admission and can be combined with admissions with other attractions at a discount. Look up the show times for both shows because they are either in English or French. For "Continuum", there is really no talking besides the instructions at the start.
